Abstract

Abstract: This article investigates how the student-teachers training  occurred in a Pedagogy distance program of a public university from the perspective of the reflective teacher.

The theoretical framework was defined based on the assumptions of Dewey (1959), Alarcão (1996), and papers on how reflective thinking relates to teacher’s training. In the results,  reflective training process was approached  through the analysis of the postings from a sample of female students during the nine semesters of the program, considering the proposed categories: (i) descriptive posts, (ii) interpretative posts and (iii) reconstructive posts. The corpus analysis showed that the female teachers turned their practice into an object of theoretical reflection, which allowed a reconstruction of actions. Besides that, it was possible to identify an evolution in the teachers’ training reflective process ..
